Okay, how many times has someone told you it’s good to watch TV? I mean, besides here at myoutdoortv.com, that is.

Think of your recliner as the cockpit of a bass boat, and all of a sudden you’re not a couch potato, but a studious angler. Nights, bad weather, closed seasons are all good times to whip out the remote, tune in and …

Focus on expert guests if the show has them. Note where they place a boat in relation to docks or other structure. Note where they position the boat after the hookup, not just when they’re setting up a shot for the camera.

Note how and where they cast and retrieve. Look closely at what they pull out of that lunker’s mouth. Size, style and color of the bait are often different than what the TV host endorses and holds up for the close-up.

Notice what the show's personalities are doing when they get hookups - rod action, boat speed, what they said just before the camera captured that strike.

Watch the fringes of the TV screen for structure and shore features that are mainly off-camera but instrumental in holding fish.

Look beyond the corny lines, silly hats and southern accents, and you’ll be a better angler when you do get that hall pass and head for the lake.
